While defending his ObiWan co-star Moses Ingram from racist trolls, O'Shea Jackson Jr. teases a major role for his mystery character 👀 'They are gonna loooooove finding out what my character does' 😱🤔
In his response to recent racist comments directed at fellow Obi-Wan Kenobi star Moses Ingram, O'Shea Jackson Jr. teases a major role for his mystery character. The latest Disney+ series follows Jedi master Obi Wan Kenobi , who has committed himself to watching over the young Luke Skywalker and protecting him from the evil forces growing within the Galactic Empire.
After the debut of the first two episodes, certain fan groups went online to publicly discriminate against Ingram for her performance as Reva, the Third Sister. Support for the actor then began to pour in, including a public statement from the official Star Wars twitter account, which firmly rejected the racism towards Ingram.
Probably kills them that James Earl Jones is Darth Vader 😂😂😂. They are gonna loooooove finding out what my character does https://t.co/xPWvBnR2J4While such events are shocking to most, Lucasfilm actually prepared Ingram for racist backlash, confirming the abuse is both predictable and expected, despite the studio's efforts to diversify.
Although they continue to expand the boundaries of who roams the galaxy, Disney and Lucasfilm need to stay vigilant. Anti-diversity opinions may not seem like they have an impact on character representation in the films, but Ingram, Jackson, and former stars like Tran and John Boyega are all too familiar with these types of comments, the effects of which go beyond the world of Star Wars.
